Neil is one of the most gifted practitioners I’ve ever worked with. His ability to identify issues, understand the body as a whole, and treat with both precision and care is genuinely exceptional. You can tell he deeply understands his craft, and that confidence translates into every treatment. I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. At this point, I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my recovery. If you’re looking for someone who is both highly knowledgeable and deeply effective, I can’t recommend him enough.

I had a wonderful first session with Neil and couldn’t be more grateful! His approach felt deeply embodied, patient, and mindful. He really took the time to listen to what was happening in my body and to hold space for everything that came up during our session. What stood out to me most was how integrative his approach feels - he seems to blend gentle structural correction with a sensitivity that reminds me of somatic and IFS-style practices. The session felt like exactly what my body needed. It brought up and released deep emotions I didn’t even realize I’d been holding. Neil is clearly very knowledgeable and brings a grounded, compassionate presence to his work. I left feeling more open, balanced, and connected to myself. I’ll definitely be continuing treatment with him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a deeply embodied and restorative osteopathic experience :-)

My experience with Neil was very positive. My previous osteopath moved away and I wanted to find another equally helpful osteopath. Neil did not disappoint. He was professional and respectful. His treatment was thorough and I have not felt that much mobility in my neck for years. I will be recommending him to my husband and friends and I will be back. Thanks, Neil

Ive been going to Neil for Osteopathy for a few years now, and cannot recommend him enough! He’s incredibly knowledgable, kind and passionate about genuinely supporting whatever you may be going through (physically, but also emotionally). I leave my appointments ALWAYS feeling so much better! He’s really gifted at what he does.

Had a very disappointing experience with Neil. This was my first initial consultation session with him. On the treatment front his nails were quite long and unkempt, you can feel them as he pushes into your skin. He was clearly sick during our treatment, coughing and blowing his nose throughout while wearing a mask- something not communicated beforehand. Energetically there were moments that felt strange, including personal inquiries of a therapeutic nature that felt out of touch. He also has no available parking in the near proximity of his office - when asked for clarity on where to park he assured me that he was "pretty sure" where I was parking was good, when I pressed onwards he again said "should be fine". I got a ticket after the session to which he took absolutely no responsibility. The whole experience wasn't conducive to a healing environment and I'm positive better options exist in Ottawa!
